How it works
If you've never been to a pottery café before, it's honestly very easy.
-
Choose your piece
Browse the shelves and pick something to paint, then choose your colours. Allow about 15 minutes for this — mugs, plates, figurines, keepsakes, there's a lot to look at.
-
We'll get you started
How to use the paints, how to get the best results, and any ideas you need. Studio assistants are on hand throughout.
-
Relax and paint
That leaves you around 1 hour 30 minutes at the table. There's no pressure, no experience needed and no right or wrong way to decorate.
-
Leave it with us
Glazed pieces are ready in around 14 days. Acrylics are much quicker — usually two or three days, and if we're not busy we can sometimes have them ready within half an hour.

Why families keep coming back
A proper family space
Fun, safe and welcoming, where people of all ages can spend real time together. Phones go away, conversations start, and everyone gets absorbed in what they're making.
Staff who actually help
We're on hand throughout with guidance, tips and encouragement. Nobody gets left staring at a blank mug wondering where to start.
Something to keep
Every piece is unique and yours to treasure. Years later they don't just remind you what you painted, but of the afternoon you spent painting it.
What our customers say
Questions we get asked
Do I need to book?
Booking is the only way to be sure of a table, especially at busy times. We do take walk-ins whenever there's space, so it's always worth asking.
When booking, let us know the total number of people at the table, not just those painting — including any babies.
How much does it cost?
There's a £5.00 studio fee per painter, plus the cost of the pottery you choose.
How does it all work?
Choose a piece of pottery from our range and pick out your colours — allow around 15 minutes for that. We'll get you started with everything from how to use the paints to how to get the best results, which leaves you about 1 hour 30 minutes to relax and paint. Studio assistants are on hand throughout if you need help.
Leave it with us, and come and pick it up glazed and fired, usually around 14 days later. Acrylics are much quicker — usually two or three days, and if we're not busy we can sometimes have them ready within half an hour.
When can I collect my pottery?
Your finished pottery is ready during our collection times:
Saturdays, 10:30am to 12:00pm
Thursdays, 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Those are the times we can promise someone will be here. We only open when there are sessions booked, so if you need to collect at any other time, please ring ahead and check before making the journey.
